Description
Summary:In this paper, we present a novel quantum authentication protocol based on entanglement swapping of Bell states, in which it can ensure two users to simultaneously authenticate each other. With the help of a semi-honest third party, our protocol can realize mutual identity authentication by utilizing Bell states and applying Pauli operators. In addition, this protocol can prevent the third party from knowing the secret key shared in prior between the two users. Finally, the analysis results show that this protocol is secure and efficient.
